Stevie, 13, has started at a new school and is desperate for acceptance. Like any teenager, he is self-conscious and embarrassed by his family. But he also hates himself for being cruelly bullied at his old school, and he will do anything to be accepted by bullies here rather than be their victim. Then he finds an odd fossil called a Devil's Toenail, which fills him with an almost evil sense of daring. The Devil's Toenail's tauntings and urgings to take revenge on the world are relentless, but in the end, Stevie discovers that believing in himself is what brings true power and happiness.

This sounds like a Twilight Zone episode. I'll probably scan it and release it. Thanks to BookshopLakes for releasing it.
Never going to read this, so I've decided to free it. Off to a free book table at work.
Found this again on the free table after nearly seven years. Someone had it and brought it back. No journal from them so I'll go fishing with it again.
